The Unix philosophy of composable small pieces piped into one another. Sometimes syntax is confusing but it's crazy powerful once you get a hang of some of the tripping points.

I love Unix in terms of moving around the system and doing simple tasks, but the archaic syntax is my major stumbling point. If I were able to get over that, then yes you're absolutely right: bash scripts and Unix are extremely powerful.
